74 delegates from 12 different states were chosen but 55 actually attended the convention

There were 55 delegates who met at the Constitutional Convention in 1787 which was held in Philadelphia. Some of the more well known delegates included George Washington, James Madison, Benjamin Franklin, and Alexander Hamilton.
Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, Delaware, North Carolina, South Carolina, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maryland, New Jersey, and Georgia all sent delegates to the Constitutional Convention. Rhode Island objected to any amendment of the Articles of Confederation and believed that the government should stay out of rights and powers belonging to the states, so Rhode Island did not send any delegates to the Convention.
Benjamin Franklin was one of eight (8) delegates to attend the convention for Pennsylvania. The convention first began on May 25, 1787, and ended on September 17, 1787.
